Items database

An approach to implement a cmdb on steroids as a bunch of linked objects.

It’s about object schemas and types and typed links to describe the world as dependency graph.

A bunch of linked objects

@startuml

object "item 1" as i1
object "item 2" as i2
object "item 3" as i3
object "item 4" as i4
object "item 5" as i5

object "link 1" as l1
object "link 2" as l2
object "link 3" as l3
object "link 4" as l4
object "link 5" as l5

i1 --> l1
i1 --> l2
l1 --> i2
l2 --> i5
i5 --> l3
l3 --> i4
l4 --> i3
i2 --> l4
l5 --> i1
